Death - Jacob’s Ladder Poem by Paul Warren

They say just before you die
You have a chance through your life to fly
To re-visit the main events that mattered
That are presented through your life so scattered

To remember the first friend you made
Or when you first gained a sporting grade
When you met your first true love
Or the first job which fitted like a glove

As you climb on each rung of Jacob’s ladder
You shouldn’t find that you get sadder
It is your stair case to a heaven sent
And know that your final reward is meant
